SIR Sadiq Khan has taken free Liverpool tickets worth £1,000 a year since becoming Mayor of London.
The Labour bigwig, 54, has accepted £9,000 in subsidised tickets for 17 matches featuring his boyhood team since 2016.
They include trips to two of Liverpool’s three Champions League finals — the 2019 win over Tottenham in Spain and the 2022 defeat to Real Madrid in France.
The 2019 visit to Madrid cost £1,200, with the tickets gifted by organiser Uefa and £200 return flights paid for by Liverpool.
The 2022 tickets, again subsidised by Uefa, cost £1,173.
Other matches include Wembley finals and a Fulham v Aston Villa game, which he watched from £1,500 hospitality seats last year.
The Mayor declared them all on his register of interests as necessary for “stakeholder engagement” reasons.
London’s Tory leader Susan Hall said: “You’d think he could pay for the tickets himself.
“Labour spent a long time criticising anyone who took freebies, but are doing it themselves.”
Sir Sadiq, born in Tooting, South London, has supported Liverpool all his life.
In 2018 he said: “When I was little, they were a great team.”
In July, Sir Sadiq was cleared of wrongdoing after accepting £3,000 of Taylor Swift tickets last summer.
A spokesman said the footie tickets were declared “in keeping with the Greater London Authority gifts and hospitality code”.
